Ever wondered why Gwyneth Paltrow always looks so gorgeous...?

Well, sadly it looks like the answer is good old fashioned hard work! But, that also means that the rest of us have a chance to look just as wonderful, too! Woo!

Check out Gwyneth's 'The Making of Pepper Potts' post on her fantastic Goop blog. It gives a full run down of her diet and exercise regime for Iron Man 2.

L'Occitane's Ultimate Hand Treat

This is probably no secret to most of you, but the best hand cream ever made HAS to be L'Occitane's Shea Butter Hand Cream This stuff is rich, luxurious and has a fragrance that's ever so delicate. If you don't already stockpile it, as I do, you really should invest.

Not to mention L'Occitane is currently having a seasonal SALE! Woo!

The Elemental Herbology God-Send

While feeling a little under the weather a few days back, I decided that my skin needed a treat in hopes that the rest of my body might follow. I booked myself in for an ELEMENTAL FACIAL at my favourite of Locations, Space NK. It was an hour and fifteen minutes of sheer bliss! I have always loved using ELEMENTAL HERBOLOGY products at home, so this was familiar yet that much more indulgent.

The BEST London pedicure!

Hello my lovelies,

As the weather is finally quite steamy here in London, so my feet have been out on display. I ma ashamed to say that they are not adorned with a lovely toe polish. This makes me very sad when I look at the lovely ladies of London with the twinkliest of toes.

Where offers the best pedicure in London, pray tell? Tips will be gladly received and a recommendation offered for the others struggling to find the ultimate tootsie pampering treat of the season!

Sunday Delights!

I absolutely love Sunday morning brunch in London. It's always such a treat to meet up with the ladies for an indulgent meal consisting of fancy pastries and pots of tea, complete with tea cosies... and maybe even a warming hot chocolate.
My friend Amy just introduced me to a new favourite, the near perfect ALBION CAFE Oh the joy upon walking in to find stacks of fresh pastries and wonderful packaged goods fit for a queen.
Roll on next Sunday!

Caravan, One Gorgeous Shop

My friend took me along to Caravan in Shoreditch over the weekend and I was utterly entranced. Everything was just magical, little duck is a case in point! This is the best birthday pressie shop I have found in ages. The online boutique is quite small, so it's definitely worth a visit in person.

I was looking around the web for some cute things for a terrace party that I'm having in a few weeks and I stumbled upon these. How great are they! Both cute and comfortable for summer lounging.
